In the______ , neurons are arranged like maps that correspond to different parts of the body surface. a. retina c. basilar membrane b. somatosensory cortex d. occipital lobe
All sensory signals except _____ travel to the _____ in the brain before the cerebral cortex. a. vision; thalamus b. olfaction; thalamus c. vision; cranial nerves d. olfaction; cranial nerves
Select the statement that best describes the organization of the somatosensory cortex.
a. A distorted neural representation of the body space is due to differences in the number of neurons that code high- and low-resolution areas.
b. None of the answers.
c. The body area is represented by a single map in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1).
d. A secondary somatosensory cortex is unnecessary since all somatosensory information is processed in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1).
